My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

I'm pretty chill on the forums all weekend. @Shaz51 I do have my sister's three kids with me tomorrow though. Their dad is travelling interstate and my sister has a meeting all day in the city.

I hope the infection completely heals soon.

Re: My Place

So great to hear @Oaktree ! I feel that way too.

For me, as soon as I started to feel this way, I've never gone back. Hope it's the same for you 🙂

@Shaz51 , I'm glad Mr Shaz is starting to relax. I hear how hard it could have been otherwise.

It'll be too cold to do anything so I'm staying at home most likely and just chilling on the forums. The kids can play on their own lol. They are really good at messing the house up! @Shaz51 HAHAHA
